This air eads rroin the vertical pipe vi'hich ts 1with the perforated tubular shait he ai f compressingl cylinder. TWithin l. the rear or o iposite end et the shell. is a ver- :EG tical discharge pipe 4l, the upper end ot which is close to the top of the shell, while its .loiver end has a rigl'it-angied horizontal extension 42 which passes out at the rear end of the conta n ng shell, and from which the gas is distributed. The horizontal pipe del is closed its outer end, and receives thcl eil supply throug'li its upright branch pipe the oil being coi iticted to upright pipe i3 through `which it led to shell` i Alongsiie this pipe el is another vertical pipe 43, also having it." upper open end near the top of the snell 32, the lower end heiniI e nnecteifl with a horizontal brauch vvhich connects wit1 vertical pipe l5 that extends 7', directly belenthe disclia fre valve ot the oil tank 4G. will observed in Fig. 3 that a stub pipe el? passes through the side. ivall of the ease iabove the funnel, and the outer end ot this pipe has a right angled bend 4S with a plug thereir., this nipe beinff assigned for priming gtirposes to provide a means for supplying small amount of oil to the carloureting;h shell at starting. l

The oil tank 46 i' l0), has preicral'il)r through the plug,v l a. Wire rod #i9 with a coil( 50 on its lower end. Since this rod nu ves :trceljv7 through 'the hole in the plug, an the corlr floats on the oil. the height e() of .he oil in the tanl: can be readilyT observed by the looped upper end of the Wire. Centra ly the base of the tank e6 has a disch: i ne 3l, this opening' being' pre i". thro h a plug which is leads to a hoes on secured to S that the oscillat ressent the tank bottom. A stem 54 projects up through the discharge opening, and this stein carries on its upper end a valve 55 that closes the discharge opening' when seated in the plug. The lower end ot" this stern 54 is hinged to a horizontal lever 56 which is piv oted to a downwardly projecting bracket 57a at a point close to the stem 5st, and the opf positc end of the lever projects forwardly and rests alongsiile the air .compressing cylinder. The long end of the lever .36, therefore, serves to hold by its Weight the valve 53 lirinl'iY on its scat, and thus will norm-all)rv prevent an outflow of oil from the tank ln order to raise the lever 5G, and thus canse a discharge of oil, the air compressor shaft 16 is piw'ividcd-ivith a looselv7 swinging lever shalt that passes through it, that the long end 5T of the lever extends doujn slightly below the perimeter oi the cylinder. so that vivlien the. cylinder revelv' a finger 3S on the end thereof, and projectinb,l therefrom. ivill engage with the long,r end 5T ot tric lever, and thus carry it around. The .short eid 59 of the lever has a right angled iinger 6() which is within 'ange of the valve oper ating' lever 56, as shown in Fig'. Ll, so that.

as the cylinder revolves and the swinging lever is carried around, the linger G() .vill momentarily raise tle lever 56 and permit a small discharge oi oil, thereafter again rcleasingl the swinging' lever 57 and alloivinfrT it to temporaril;T swing' to a lvertical position, as shown, for instance, in Fig. 3 since the longv end 5T of the lever is heavier than the short end T he oil thus discharged passes troni the funnel l5 down through the pipe 4.5 and np tlirough'the pipe 43, where it is discharged into the carburetor shell 3Q.

ln order to be'able to regulate the turning yement of the air compressor, a braking vice is provided, which is shoivn in Figs. #t and Around the compressing cylinder, at an v suitable point. is mounted a brake band 62, one end oi this band beingI vioined to an arin G3, which is hinged to the side vvall of the case. The point of juncture of the band and the arm is on top of the cylinder. The outer end of arm G3 is pivoted Fig. 3l to a bracket 63h by means oil a pin (33. The end of this arm G3 to which the band G2 is fixed, is hinged to a lever Glivliiclzbevtends over to a point direotlv above the rear end of the oscillating carburcter shell 32. and a vertical .link ivith its lower end hinged to the top ot the carbureter shell, as at GG. has its upper end hinged to the horizontal lever 611-. so that the oscillation of the carburetor shell will therebv be imparted to the lever 64. .lloth ends ot lever di a re irec to move vel-thrall)T except as restrained by band (32 and rod 65. but during the time that'band 62 is relaxed the 3T. this lever beingl so mounted on theA Afr (l Legionari Weight ol." levers 63 und Selupon the cylinder Bl does not create sullicient friction to interfere with the rotation of said cylinder by the spring 18. The raising` oi rod tends to depress the joint between levers 63 and (S-l upon cylinder 31, thereby augmenting the braking action when the broke band G2 is tightened. The opposite end ot the bend G2 is attached to the lever (il, midway between its ends, so that the raisiing, of the lever by the carburetor shell will cause the band brake to tighten and thus arrest the revoluble inotion o t the nir cylinder.

in il: o thin reintorcelnent or friction band 5'4" is shown exlending around the cylinder 57 to receive the Wear troni the broke band 32 (see Fig. 3). This bend ibis too thin to be readily shown in side elevation and is, therefore, not shown in Fig. 3 Where the attempt to illustrate it might confuse il 'with the brake bund 62.

ln order that air moy be freely admitted to the case l2, a. verti al pipe l), open et both ends, has. its lower end secured through the base ol' the case, und its upper end terminales near the top oit the esse.

The operation or the mechanism is es iol* lows: The euse is li -illed with Water up to the Writer line lll, l s 5, il end Sl, so that the carburetor shell. is submerged scout tivothirds, und the lower third of the cir conipressing cylinder is coveredq the water being admitted at the opening (38, l, which :i closure lid (S9 l). 'lfhe oil toni; el@ may be supplied by a reservoir located spart troni the apparatus. The spring 18 listing; been wmnid'fnp, e sinall amount ont oil supplied to tle carburetor'shell through the pipe 47 for storting; ik'iuejposes. its the air cylinder revolves in the direction of the arrow 28, Figs o' and S, a deiinite quuntity oi water rushes into each segment oli the cylinder through 'the opening,- 28, sind when the opening 28 emerges from the water, air enters and lills the segment, so that when the opening 28 again reaches the 'water line and is submerged, the oir thus trapped is forced out through the open end ot the segment so that it trapped in the space within the segments, thence passing through the perforations 24- ol the tubular shaft il? to the pipe 'which conveys air along pipe l0 lo 4the interior olf the carburetor shell lk The oir thus enters the shell into tl e compartment l0 formed between the partition Well 3S and the end of the shell, so that it is compelled to pass belovi7 the lower inuio'in ol the partition 38, and, in doing so, it percolates through the film oi' oil. which rests en top oi? the water` this loyer oit oil being 'designated bij 7l, Fig. Sl. ils the oir rises behinf, the pe t tion 3G, it .is free to nieve along to the resi) end of 'the shell to Vfard the discharge pipe il, and, in doing so, it niust poss through the fabric is obvious that, if the dischz'irge from 'theA` pipe 4l is arrested, or purtially so, the pressure within the shell l2 causes its rear ond to rise, and, in doing so, the brake lever 64% is raised, causing the bend G2 to bind tightly' against the cylinder and arrest its turning increment, until e sulllcient quantity of car bureted nir is withdruwn troni the carburetingr shell. it each revolution of the cylinder, u inodieuin of oil is discharged through the action ol the swinging lever 57, 59, acting,l on the valve lever 5G, so that the supply is constant, and, as the cylinder is provided with e plurality of segments. so arranged that the segments discharge the air into the Corburetingshell in succession, there is s constant flow of air through the carburetor.

it is important to note that by this system onlj,7 e comparutivelyY sin ull amount oit oil is supplied to the apparatus, which einount when once suitably regulated will be constantlj,1 teiten up, in order to chui-ge the air, so that the mechanism can not possibly carry only the light wipers` and leave u residue oi the hee v'ier part oi the oil.

'lhe entire mechanism is so constructed and arrangedthat there is no friction due to the operation oi' the Working ports, which. will in any measure tend to decrease its ell` cienqtT when running :it its maximum cupncitjf, and the adjustable Weight enables us to so regulate the pressure that it is equally Well adopted to supply the minimum us well 21s 'the muiiinuun quantity oii carbu reted oir., without iinpaii'ing its quality l, ln a carburetor7 an oscillating" shell, open nt its lower end, o 'plurality of separated, vertical, transverse Webs therein ot ab" sorbent material, :i partition at one end olf said train oi webs and separated therefrom, the loiver ends of said webs and partition being` submerged in a volatile o'il, ineens for supplying-nir under pressure to the cornpartments iornied by the partition, and for "forcing the air under the partition through said sbsorhent webs, end ineens lconnected with the oscillating shell tor controlling the air supply to the. shell Q. ln u eurbureter, :i case, en`air compressingcylinder mounted Within said cese longitudinally et one side of the central line, a, shaft on which said cylinder is mounted,
